Am I A Softie ?
In my game yesterday i had a young lady swear at me. I called a strike three, looking, on her. She turns and looks at me and Says" Are you F%$#@&* blind?. Now before we get into the end of Western civilization and all that I would like to focus on what I did and if what i did was appropriate, in accordance with the rule book.
I chuckled and walked over to her coach and explained what transpired. I said i didn't think an ejection was warranted but I was going to restrict her to the dugout for the rest of the game. The coach agreed and said she was a bit of an attitude problem lately. My partner thought I should have ejected her. i thought because it wasn't said loudly and only me,her, and F2 heard it I could live with the restriction. having done that was that allowable according to the rules and my belief this was a minor offense,IMO.
Actually i am not a softie but it just didn't seem like she should be ejected.......
